In last year's elections, Warren unseated Scott Brown for the seat which was previously held by Ted Kennedy. Fischer was also a pickup for her party, after the seat was vacated by then-retiring Ben Nelson.

Mikulski is the longest-tenured woman in either house of Congress. (Now at age 76, Mikulski was first elected in 1986.)

On ABC News' broadcast, Diane Sawyer sat down with these female Senators for a discussion that is on video for approximately five mintues. It's pretty interesting.

This is a good thing. When you balance the gender of government, you will fundamentally change how it operates for the better. Male dominated government of privilege can do tremendous damage to a government.

I am proud of my female senator, Maria Cantwell. I have a lot of respect for that woman.

Interesting to watch...have they shown part two yet?

I have supported Barbara Boxer for years now...most times she has run without any serious competition but last time against Carly Fiorina I ended up donating money to her weekly. Her campaign knew how to get the $$$$...I was cracking up because I knew they were manipulating me and I was happy about it. They sent me photos of Sarah Palin alongside Fiorina and instant fear overcame me and I hit the DONATE NOW button within 10 seconds.

Re: '20 Female Senators Sworn in on Capitol Hill'‏

It's interesting to see this, given an article I read several years ago which asserted two things about having women in government: that governments with a high number of women involved spend more per capita, especially on social programs; and that governments with a high number of women suffer less from factional blocking of getting things done.
We could certainly use a dose of the latter.

And on that notion, it's too bad we don't have a hundred women in the House.

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "
